3/24/17 Spring Break


I traveled down to Lake of the Ozarks with my friends Jack, Stanley and Peter. Jack's family owns land and a lake house in Big Buffalo Cove, this was one of the many times I had attended the 'camp'. While there we stayed up late, shot shotguns and .22 rifles, played poker, sat in the hot tub, drove in an ATV, explored a junkyard, burnt trash and played "Smite" the images included catalog what we did. A link to an edited video I made will be posted later. Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSIxUdiLcLA&t=45s

“Amazon’s CEO Just Demoed the World’s First Manned Bipedal Robot”

            Recently at the MARS conference, Amazon’s CEO Jeff Bezos tested out a robot that comes straight out of a comic book. The robot named ‘Method 2’ clocking in at a weight of 1.5 tons and 4 meters tall, its primary directive is to be applied to situations that could be potentially too hazardous to human beings to go in unprotected. The robot was built by a South Korean tech firm named Hankook Mirae Technology. The chairman of the company, Yang Jin-Ho has a few more hoops to jump though before he can get the robot fully complete. There are currently rumors circling that it will be being used to aid cleanup in the Fukushima reactor meltdown. This new robot is clearly a massive advancement in current robot tech and even serves the purpose of helping humanity; it could be possible that this robot can work along smaller robots that search for bodies under rubble. This advancement will greatly help the field of robotics.

I do not care for sports that much, and do not care if this bracket will make sense or not, I do not intend to use this bracket.

3/8/17 Infograph Reflection

Cameron Janofsky: Nice job on this infograph, as an ex-player, it is interesting to see how the sport has grown. I had no idea that Europeans did not have that many hockey players.
Max Moltior: Good job on this infographic, I think concussions are a serious issue in the sports community and I am glad you addressed it.
Trevor Lister: I really enjoyed both of your charts, I like how the information is demonstrated through spicy visuals and accurate data.
Braden Davis: I really enjoyed your infographic, it is really cool to see the internet in numbers. I learned a lot of things that I didn't know.
Stephanie Ainsworh- I really enjoyed the colors and visuals of your infograph, it was easy to follow and made sense.

3/1/17 My Dream Business


3/1/17 Canva V.S LucidPress

I think that both of the online web apps were fairly easy to use. You could sign up through Google services without creating a separate account for the website. I found Canva more familiar however as it attempts to mirror Photoshop and other graphic design programs. Some pros for Canva is that it is easy to use and it can be practical for a artistic setting, however it does not apply well in a business setting and requires paid content to amp up production value. Some pros for LucidPress is that it can apply in both a business and artistic standpoint, it also has beautiful templates that you can use, however I feel like it would be harder to learn for someone to learn coming from something like Photoshop or Canva, it also is very formal and business oriented unlike Canva. I feel like in the end LucidPress featured the most free elements to use. Overall I like Canva more because of the Photoshop-like features and functions.
